my 5 day stay for physical therapy was awful== the physical therapists did 30 min once a day and no other service. the inedible food usually late and half of the listed menu item were missing. the RNs did work carefully on pill distribution Otherwise not around. To add: you get 2 showers aweek but only after 4pm. Go elsewhere!

There is no better place than McGaw rehabilitation in Evanston. The staff are so professional, kind, nurturing and patient. My parents have had numerous health issues over the years necessitating stays at this wonderful community. Kathy Kennedy, Director of admissions, is wonderful with helping families and patients navigate the process. High praise .
